    Getting Pooped On While In the Parks

    I got it good at Epcot. Went with my best friend and his sister, who did nothing but argue like 12 year olds the whole week. Last day of the trip, the idea was to spend a couple of hours at Epcot before heading to the airport, but they're spending the time fighting with each other. I'm...

    Diamond Parking?

    We had this on our last trip, and if I remember right, they send you a slip of paper you can put in your car window to show you have the option. If you didn't get anything in the packet they sent you, call the agent and follow up on it. The parking option is a great idea in theory, but not in...

    Thought of a great way for Disney to make $$$

    I always thought the Leave A Legacy monoliths at Epcot looked like giant tombstones, maybe they could do the cemetary there. (Oh man, the little ad at the top of the page changed from Disney Travel site to a funeral parlor ad. Yuck)

    Best Disney World Planning Books?

    I love the Passporter Guide also, been a big life saver on past trips. Even though I knew I'd have to buy the 2011 eventually, I got the 2010 edition to start planning my upcoming trip in October. But I'm REALLY disappointed. They've changed the pages from just regular paper to this glossy...

    What should replace Sounds Dangerous?

    Not too movie themed, but do some type of stunt show, and find a way to keep the sound effects in the dark gimmick, by working in their newly acquired Marvel character Daredevil. The character's blind so maybe we could experience what he experiences during a fight.

    Great Movie Ride - Pick 2 scenes

    The Mummy bit between Indy and Tarzan had always bugged me. Not really part of any actual movie. A few years back when they tried to reference the Mummy remake, without really being able to mention it, was kind of lame. And the current "I see dead people" line is getting old. Since Universal...

    Disney Splurge

    I thought it was interesting that they showed the men of the one family doing the race car thing then going fishing, while the women went off shopping. Don't know how many Disney kid show episodes I've seen where the message is something along the lines of "It's OK for boys to dance and cook and...

    Best Jungle Cruise Skipper EVER

    When I saw the title of this thread I immediately thought “I’ve got to tell them about Ty!” !!!!!!!!!! We had him as our Captain last Dec and he was GREAT!!!! Going through the ruined temple in Asia he started singing the same creepy song Gene Wilder sang in “Willy Wonka” as the boat on the...

    rejected WDW attractions (this should be fun)

    Living With Iron Chef - the ride now flows in the opposite direction. As you now pass through the greenhouse first, you have to grab a giant mutant veggie off the vines and create a nice entree before the ride is over.

    did you ever do something that you wish you didn't

    I went to the first 999 Happy Haunts Ball. One of the most depressing evenings ever. Paid a lot of money for those tickets. Thought it was going to be a good time celebrating the Haunted Mansion. It wasn't even about being greedy and buying all the collectables you could get your hands on. It...

    rejected WDW attractions (this should be fun)

    The Spaceship Earth 300 - Where King Leonidas has been added to every scene to show the best communication is screaming one word sentences. "Your! Time! Vehicle! Is! ROTATING! BACKWARDS!!!! SPARTANS!! DO NOT!! STAND! UP!! For! Tonight, WE Dine ON CHICKEN FINGERS!!!!"

    What Ride Is The Most Disappointing...

    The Seas With Nemo - Really underwhelmed. And normaly I love goofy stuff like 'Clamobiles'. I know it's kind of SOP to reproduce scenes from the movies on rides, but with all the technology I was kind of hoping they'd do more. There's not really anything that goes on in the ride that couldn't...

    Disney Memories

    Mine's going to sound stupid but it's the example I use to explain to people why I love Walt Disney World. On our first trip with the DVD camera, before we were sure if we were using it right, after we rode Spaceship Earth we sat on a bench in the former 'Global Neighborhood' to check the disk...

    12 Trips to WDW and NEVER on Tom Sawyer's Island!

    Our last trip was our 9th to the parks but only our first to Tom Sawyer Island. Definatly one of those had we known it was this much fun we would have done it earlier bits. The caves are great. Cool surprise in one that I don't want to give away. And if you're a big guy like me there's the...
